The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for estimating a road surface type by using an ultrasonic signal and, more particularly, to a method for estimating a road surface type by using an artificial neural network model machine-learned with respect to a reflected ultrasonic signal and an apparatus for performing same. According to the present invention, provided are a method and apparatus for providing highly accurate road surface information at low cost, by machine-learning both characteristics of an ultrasonic signal reflected from a road surface and a road surface state, establishing a model between the two, and then estimating the type of the road surface by utilizing the model. In particular, even a road surface where thin ice, that is, black ice, is formed, which was not detectable in the conventional method for estimating a road-surface friction coefficient, may be accurately estimated, thereby contributing to safer driving.
